I can’t quite recall the exact year or the specific anime convention where I first crossed paths with Wren (@princesswrencosplay), though I suspect it may have been back at Fanime 2016.
Fast forward to Fanime 2018
I had the absolute pleasure of spending over three hours collaborating with them on a dedicated photoshoot.
Notably, that was the very first time I witnessed their incredible take on Cinderella in her classic rags version.
Ever since then, I have always loved capturing their many different creative costumes through my lens. In addition to getting great shots, I always end up learning so much about the specific characters and the anime series they represent during our sessions.
Over all thoughts
One of the main reasons I enjoy photographing Wren so much is that they are incredibly kind, friendly, and approachable.
Primarily stick to the West Coast convention scene, my travel is somewhat limited; however, always thrilled when running into them at major events like Sakuracon, Anime LA, and Anime Expo.
Without a doubt, they have become a central focus of my photography portfolio. In fact, out of all the anime gatherings, local SoCal events, and comic cons I attend, Wren is easily my number-one most-photographed cosplayer.
- Granted, I do have a tendency to hold down the shutter button a bit too much when they are posing. For instance, during one memorable session, I ended up taking a whopping 333 photos!
- Of course, a lot of those were duplicates, so it wasn’t quite as massive a variety as it sounds—but hey, a shutter count is a shutter count!
- Ultimately, they put an immense amount of passion into creating amazing cosplays, which is why it is an absolute must to go check out their Instagram page and support their work.
